Ethna Carbery

Ethna Carbery

Ethna Carbery was the pseudonym of Anna MacManus, née Johnston, (December 3 1866 – April 21 1902), an Irish writer and poet. She is known for some songs, "Roddy McCorley" (also though the title of a traditional ballad), and "Song of Ciabhan", set to music by Ivor Gurney.

She was born in Ballymena, County Antrim. She married in 1901 the ex-teacher, poet and folklorist Séamus MacManus (1869-1960).

She founded with Alice Milligan two nationalist publications "The Northern Patriot", and then "The Shan Van Vocht" in 1896, which appeared monthly until 1899.
